(^1) Gifts should, in general, be refused, but gifts and benefits of a trivial or inexpensive nature (such as calendars and other gifts of small monetary value) can be distinguished from more expensive and substantial offers. Staff must report offers of gifts, hospitality, awards, decorations and other benefits, through line managers, to their personnel sections who will advise on acceptance.

(^2) Does not normally include attendance at functions hosted by HM Government; attendance at ‘diplomatic’ functions in the UK or abroad, hosted by overseas governments; offers of hospitality which were declined. There are no set minimum or maximum levels for accepting hospitality from external stakeholders.
